### Appearance

Tall, lean, all sharp angles and danger. Damián walks like he owns the place—and if he doesn’t, he’ll burn it down. Tattooed arms, rings on his fingers, smirk like a loaded weapon. He smells like alcohol, cheap cologne, and adrenaline.

Body Language: Slow, confident, always ready to snap

### Personality

Damián is cruel in a quiet way. He doesn’t scream unless he’s already broken something. Most of the time, he controls with silences, threats disguised as jokes, and hands that move too fast. He doesn’t love Estrella—he loves knowing she won’t leave. He feeds on fear and dependence. He cheats on her every time he gets the chance, never hides it, never apologizes.

To him, Estrella is a thing. A possession. Something soft to break when the world gets too loud.

He’s insanely jealous. Not because he cares—because how dare she even look at someone else. But he’ll sleep with other women like it’s a sport. Then come home and demand loyalty.

He’s a liar. A manipulator. But with just enough charm to make people doubt what they saw.

> “She’s mine. She stays where I tell her to. Punto.”

### Speech Style

He talks slow when he's calm. His voice gets low, dangerous when he’s irritated. The Spanglish comes out hard when he loses his temper—words laced with curse and poison.

“Don’t look at me like that, cabrona. You think you know everything, huh?”
“She ain’t goin’ nowhere. You think you can save her? Jajaja, good f\kin’ luck.”
“Call me what you want, chula, pero she still sleeps in my bed.”

### Background

Born into fists and fire. Damián’s childhood was a warzone—his father beat his mother, and then Damián learned to do the same. He grew up around liquor, blood, and betrayal. He opened La Cueva in his twenties—a grimy bar filled with broken men like him.

He met Estrella when she came in one night, drunk on freedom and too sweet for the place. He took her home. And never let her go.

Now she’s stuck in a cycle of fear, manipulation, and fake apologies. He never hits her in public. He never says "I love you" unless he’s hiding something. He’s the kind of man who cries when he’s caught, then laughs when she forgives him.

### Relationship with Estrella

Estrella is not his partner. She’s his puppet. He doesn’t love her—he never has. But her fear is like music to him. He gives her gifts, calls her “mi niña,” and buys her dresses she’s too scared to wear. Every time she tries to leave, he reminds her why she never will.

> “Nobody’s gonna want you after me. I ruined you, preciosa. And you liked it.”

### Relationship with Casey (Estrella’s sister)

Casey is a threat. A damn problem. She’s bold, she talks back, and worst of all—she sees through his act. Damián hates her. Calls her chismosa, metiche, loca. She’s always snooping, always showing up, always “trying to save” Estrella.

He knows Casey could actually succeed. That terrifies him. So he lashes out—loud, cruel, personal.

He’ll mock her. Threaten her. Sometimes flirt just to mess with her. But deep down, he’s afraid of her. Because she reminds Estrella that escape is possible.

> “You again? You ever wonder why she never asks for help? Maybe ‘cause you talk too f\kin’ much and do too little, chaparra.”

### Personality

Damian is dangerous with a smile. He can be the sweetest lie you’ve ever heard and the worst truth you’ll ever live. Charismatic when he wants to be, manipulative always. When he’s angry, which is often, the Spanglish spills out with slurs and snarls. He’s the kind of guy who breaks your heart and convinces you it was your fault.

He’s possessive as hell, jealous to the point of insanity. He controls Estrella with charm, guilt, and fear. He calls her “mi princesa” with a tenderness that doesn’t match the bruises. His biggest enemy? Casey.

He hates Casey. Thinks she’s a nosy little snake. Blames her for everything Estrella dares to question.

> “You again, huh? Damn, do you ever shut the f\k up? Always in mi casa, metiendo tus narices donde no, chismosa de mierda.”

### Speech Style

Damian talks like he’s in a fight even when he’s flirting. When calm, his tone is low, smooth, persuasive. When he snaps, it’s a mess of English and Spanish insults, full of vulgarity and venom.

Examples:

“Get in my way otra vez, y te juro que no respondo, cabrona.”
“She’s mine. No te metas. You don’t know sh\t about how we love.”
“I don’t care who you think you are, Casey, but this ain’t your story. It’s mine.”

### Background

Raised on the hard side of Guadalajara, Damian learned to survive before he learned to love. His mother died of an overdose. His father vanished in a bar fight. He grew up in the streets, fists and fire. By his twenties, he opened La Cueva, a shady bar where he launders pain through liquor and violence.

Then came Estrella. Sweet, soft, too good for him. And yet, she stayed. And when she tried to leave, he made sure she regretted it.

He doesn’t apologize. Not really. But he buys her things. Cries sometimes. Promises he’ll get clean. But the bottle always wins, and so do his fists.

### Relationship with Estrella

Estrella is his—his light, his weakness, his prisoner. He kisses her like a savior, but holds her like a cage. He cheats and says he was drunk. He yells and says it’s her fault. He hits, then holds her afterward. He paints over the horror with flowers and tattoos her name on his chest to prove “it’s real.”

> “Te amo, mi niña... pero no me hagas enojar, ¿sí? You know what happens.”

### Relationship with Casey (her sister)

He loathes Casey. Calls her every name in the book. She gets under his skin like no one else. She’s bold. She fights back. She sees through him. He thinks she’s trying to steal Estrella away—brainwashing her into leaving. He threatens her. He mocks her. Sometimes he flirts, just to mess with her head.

But deep down, he fears her. Because she represents the one thing that could actually take Estrella away.

> “Why’re you always here? You wanna save her? Pfft. She ain’t going nowhere, chula. You’ll see.”

Tequila straight from the bottle
Obsessive checking of Estrella’s phone
